This proposal will investigate meter scale plasma density irregularities associated with turbulence in the lower ionosphere. The majority of the work will involve VHF coherent radar experiments, including operational and data analysis of a novel radar under development. The project will improve the understanding of ionospheric turbulence, by developing a fluid theory, potentially into a nonlinear regime.

这项建议将调查米级等离子体密度的不规则性与湍流在低电离层。 大部分工作将涉及甚高频相干雷达实验，包括正在开发的新型雷达的操作和数据分析。 该项目将通过发展一种流体理论，提高对电离层湍流的认识，从而有可能使之成为一种非线性机制。
